Genelux Corp. ( (GNLX) ) just unveiled an update.

On January 5, 2026, Genelux Corporation reported interim data from two ongoing trials of its oncolytic immunotherapy Olvi-Vec given intravenously to patients with progressive small cell and non-small cell lung cancer whose disease had relapsed or progressed after prior platinum-based regimens, showing preliminary signs of anti-tumor activity and tolerability. In the China-based Phase 1b/2 SCLC study, as of December 23, 2025, Olvi-Vec in combination with platinum and etoposide produced a 33% overall response rate and 67% disease control rate among nine evaluable patients, with notable tumor shrinkage in the highest-dose cohort and early signals of durable progression-free survival despite the trial’s primary focus on safety. In the U.S.-based Phase 2 VIRO-25 NSCLC trial, as of December 31, 2025, five evaluable patients treated with Olvi-Vec plus platinum chemotherapy and an immune checkpoint inhibitor achieved a 60% disease control rate with generally manageable safety. These early findings suggest potential for systemically delivered Olvi-Vec to resensitize difficult-to-treat lung tumors to platinum therapy and support Genelux’s broader strategy to position Olvi-Vec as a differentiated immunotherapy across multiple solid tumors, with further lung cancer readouts and pivotal ovarian cancer data expected to shape the company’s clinical and regulatory trajectory in 2026.

The most recent analyst rating on (GNLX) stock is a Hold with a $4.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Genelux Corp. stock, see the GNLX Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on GNLX Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GNLX is a Neutral.

The score is driven primarily by weak financial performance—minimal revenue, deep losses, and heavy cash burn—despite a comparatively low-debt balance sheet. Technical signals are mixed with slightly soft momentum, valuation is constrained by negative earnings and no dividend, and the recent CMO appointment is a small positive catalyst but secondary to funding and execution risk.
